Thailand – Ko Lanta Island

April 6, 2009

We spend the next two weeks island hopping in the south of Thailand. It’s paradise!

Ko Lanta Island, Thailand Day 51 (March 21)


We spend the day to relax, catch up on sleep, and take a cool swim in the ocean in the pouring rain. We have the resort mostly to ourselves, not including the resort cats. We also enjoyed the great sunset every evening while having dinner on the beach.

Ko Lanta Island, Thailand Day 52 (March 22)


speed boat pick out in front of our hotel

Today, we take a speed boat trip to Koh Rok Island park, about 40 minutes south of Ko Lanta. The islands are not inhabited, except for camping on one of the islands. We snorkel twice, lunch on the island, and then one more snorkel before returning. The coral is in good shape. We see lots of clown fish in the sea anemones, and some different fish. At lunch we see a barong, which is a giant lizard.
